Guild Wars 2

I recently purchased some gems then purchased a Marriner’s Horn. After that nothing happened. I checked everywhere. Usually things come in the mail. I submitted a ticket but then I saw the last comment above to try deleting some mail. I deleted mail and it appeared. There isn’t a message that told me my mail was full. That could be the problem with other people so try that. Thanks Lisa!

I have searched the forums and could not find if anybody was having this issue or not. I just started playing my Necromancer to see some changes and threw in a staff. Skill 5 will not activate (Reaper’s Mark). The 5 key activates on other weapons and other characters just not the staff for necro. I also tried closing the game and even remapping with no progress. I put in a bug report through the game system but wasn’t sure if this was a known issue.
My system specs are:
27inch iMac 3.4 Ghz i7 intel core
32 GB DDR3 RAM
AMD Radeon HD 6970M 1024 MB Graphics
OS X 10.8.4

I have been using FT since day one and I don’t intend to stop. I think it got better. I always knew the double pop was a bug and expected it to go away sooner. I’m liking that a net turret got a better with my FT build too. So I’m in.

That was hilarious. I almost spit out my beer. Great one.

CriSPeH.8512:

When you want to pull someone to start a fight you will now pop a useless Super Speed and put all your KR effects on CD.
When you want to switch to medkit to use stimulant for swiftness when running you will now pop a useless Magnetic Aura and put all your KR effects on CD.
When you switch to the Ranged kit Grenades you will drop a tiny useless mine at your feet and put all your KR effects on CD.

Seems pretty lame to me.

This put it plain and simple and you can’t really argue with it. Thanks.

Flame Blast is the biggest annoyance for me. Constantly saying obstructed. It sometimes gets obstructed by Napalm. And other times it is either grass or nothing at all. You also have to point your gun up high awkwardly moving your camera view or it will run into the ground and get obstructed as well. You can now point it up and fire it but I think that function is why it always get obstructed.

I sense a Troll approaching, draw your weapons.

Could you point me where this info was posted Clark? And thanks.

Oh and of course to top it off I can’t post in the Lost Shores forums anymore. Yay!

So I took about two weeks away from the game due to work and I come back looking for some NPC or anything to explain why I still have this soggy bag and map fragments. I searched high and low in the city not finding any answers. I then take myself out of the experience of the game and onto these forums to find out what exactly ever came about these items taking up precious space in my inventory. I’ve spent about 20 minutes reading the forums and looking for any answers. I still have no answers. I really enjoyed the event but this one thing right here is my complaint about the events like this. It would be so nice to have an NPC to explain things to you in game so you don’t have to pull yourself out and go look online. But going to the forums have turned up nothing and now I wasted almost 30 minutes of time looking for this silly answer! So for the love of Kormir can somebody give me an answer!?! It’s like having a puppy lost and never knowing what happened to it, though not as extreme, but just saying.

Everybody is not a winner. Thats just how it is. Are you the kind of person that believes kids sports should have no losers? I hate that belief.

I’m amazed at the posts still going. Now there is one to completely stop one time events? I sign NO NO NO 100% of the time. This game is unique because of things like this. I just can’t understand the reasoning. Mind blown.

I am totally 110% against taking out one time events! This is what makes this game unique! Wow. I can’t believe this.

Umm… they can just say no and everybody will just have to accept it. Life works that way. So either choose to move on and play a GAME or choose to spend precious time writing about how upset you are on this games forum. Either way it should never matter if real life events got in the way of digital events supposing real life was more important to you. If it isn’t then I would say those issues go way beyond the scope of this forum and can’t be worked out here. Get some fresh air for a while.

Oh and in case some of you bring this up. Yes the times were posted.

As a side note I logged off during the event to feed my 2 month old. I logged back in when she was on my chest asleep and luckily I got back in and played til the end. Had I missed it… oh well, baby has to eat.

What is the problem if more important real-life situations took precedence over this one time event? I missed most of the Halloween event just because of that. But I don’t care because real-life is more important.

Would you say… Repeat the Superbowl, I didn’t like the outcome. Repeat the Worlds Fair, I was too young to remember most of it. Repeat the guild event, I was out bowling. The event was announced a long time ago and was specific about times. This game is supposed to be dynamic and not like all the others. There will be more events. I know I won’t make them all but I won’t expect to either. I already missed most of the Halloween event due to work, but I wouldn’t expect them to reset it because I had more important things to do. It’s also not a pay to play so you have to keep that in mind too. Just sayin

I can say one thing about this event. It turned the forums into something like Bliz forums real quick. And I was actually using them too. Oh well, I’m off to watch a movie with my Wife and enjoy real life for a bit. Have fun peeps and get some air.

I’ve always been the voice of reason telling others to calm down and relax when things go wrong because Anet cares about its players and will never disappoint us in the end. Now…I’m just sad. Very sad. I never expected this at all.

They clearly don’t care. This was obviously done for 1 reason, to bring down the prices of precursors, protecting their precious auction house and the revenue they get from it and the players can get stuffed. I find it remarkable the total lack of consideration and shortsightedness they are displaying.

sigh Really?

Oh yeah I stay clear of those things. It’s their gas cloud attack that will get you in like one hit. It doesn’t seem like they should be that powerful. Wiped 5 of us in seconds. But I think we were like “Oh look at those… lets pet one.”

Yes times were listed. And I have 2 Daughters. I had to feed my 2 month old a bottle so I logged out during the event and fed her. When she was asleep I logged back in and was able to continue on thankfully. Things happen sometimes in real life that are more important. I don’t feel bad when I choose to do more important things.

Well then what is the problem if more important real-life situations took precedence? I missed most of the Halloween event just because of that. But I don’t care because real-life is more important.

The reveal to the new island was great because during the building of the bridges everybody was getting attacked. And I saw a lot of people walk off to their deaths thinking the bridge was completed. It was a funny moment I won’t forget. And now you can actually see that bridge any time you go there. And I can remember what happened when I cross it. You don’t see that sort of thing in other games.

So I’m curious why there are a lot of negative posts about a one time event. There will be more I’m sure. Maybe you will get to see some of them and others you won’t. But the cool thing is somebody will have legends to tell about the world even if it is as simple as a bridge being built. That kind of thing makes the world feel more alive and the players can feel more connected to a big story unfolding. Legends are born in events. Games have come a long way since my first Atari in the late 70’s. I couldn’t possibly think this sucks. GG

Last I heard was a red said to hold on to them. I have been wondering also. So I’m holding on to them. Just not sure what to look for or how I will know when I should turn them in.

It was epic. Loved it. It was long and I ended up holding my 2 month old as she slept on my chest for the last bit but it was fun.

I just finished with Canach about 2 hours ago. If you show up and he is not giving you an option to fight him just wait longer. He is on a timer. I thought he was still bugged but waited a little while longer and he started to walk around and then I could finish it.

I’m level 60 and have not hit a dungeon yet. I suspect by the time I hit 80 there will be numerous new dungeons put into the game. I’m a slow leveler due to two kids and a full time job running my own business. Oh and I got a late start on Mac. So I always just wrote off ever getting into a dungeon and that never bothered me. If I get to do one then cool but if not it doesn’t bother me. Is there a queue system to get into a dungeon? Seems like that would fix some concerns people have.

Krakan Event Day 2

1. Chopping Trees
2. The End Is Nigh!
3. Soaking It All In
4. Into The Abyss

I agree. The event was great. Yesterday was laggy but I had no lag today and the way we were introduced into the new land was great.

Conach’s house party!

Oh great. I just got locked into this bug too. So I can’t continue my personal quest line? Please fix this. Thanks.

Yes! Rigo it is rawhide boots! Ah ha! That is the culprit. They are bugged out.

Ok so I found out a little more about it. It seems to be happening on boots I bought from the trade post. I bought about 10 boots that were good price and then started to salvage them. I put all of those boots in my bank and logged in with a different character. A different character can not salvage those boots either! So I logged back into my main and bought some other item on the trading post and was able to salvage it just fine but still not able to salvage the remaining boots? Is this a bug or is this some form of locking out people from buying low priced salvageable gear to get crafting materials in bulk? Or was I salvaging too fast and those boots for some reason got tagged for botting? Either way something is wrong here. I put in a bug report to explain but not sure when I will hear back. Hope it isn’t going to happen all the time because that would be a game breaker. Thanks.

So now it looks like it is my one character! I could do it on other characters but not my main who was doing the salvaging. What is this all about?

I was salvaging a bunch of common items to get the crafting materials when the salvage kit just stopped working. Now when I activate a salvage kit and hover my mouse over any item it is red and will not let me salvage. I logged out and back several times and tried using different kits. I don’t know if I was salvaging too fast or something and it glitched out my account? Any info would be great. Thanks.

Whew false alarm. Ok I did a reboot and that repaired the problem. So I can’t say for sure it was the patch. Try a reboot and see if that error goes away. My system didn’t like what ever was going on there but I’m back to good fps again.

My frame rate has been cut down from 50 fps to 12 after this patch! I knew something wasn’t right. I’m going to have to reboot to see if that does it. Haven’t had to before.

If you have a logitech keyboard make sure you get their driver. That sounds like a driver problem to me. If it isn’t then you might want to check if there is a driver solution for your keyboard on the product website if they have one.

Did you try changing your output in System Preferences/Sound from your external device to Internal Speakers and see if it works using the internal? Or maybe just change from External to Internal and then back to Internal. I’m guessing a driver issue for your speakers. A lot of people had problems with Mountain Lion and their drivers. I didn’t update to Mtn Lion just yet because of the driver problems people have had.

If yours is shutting down due to heat then first thing I would check would be the air flow. If there is dust in there then that will cause more heat. Also make sure there is no dust on your board. And of course check your fans. They might need to be replaced as well.

MBP’s have always been known to run really hot. You can get a cooling pad that will blow out the heat on an additional fan but for the most part it will just run hot when gaming. I was concerned but mine has run hot on a daily basis doing video work/games for years and it still does just fine. Just get your Apple Care because if the board does burn up they give you another one. Oh and back your drive up. But it should be fine. Also you should from time to time open it up and clean out your air vents to make sure it is getting all it needs.

Just wanted to give my feedback on the game running on my iMac. A couple of little issues here and there but for the most part it runs great on my system.

System specs
iMac 27 inch Mid 2011
Processor – 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory – 32 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 (I own a production company, need that power hehe)
Graphics – AMD Radeon HD 6970M 1024 MB
Software – Lion 10.7.4 (I refuse to update to Mtn Lion until Apple sorts bugs out)
I don’t have SSD kit but will install one at some point in the future.

On ultra settings I get around 18 – 28 fps. For the most part everything is on high and I get a sustained 35-40 fps.

So I get a random crash every couple of hours or so but I can’t seem to pinpoint when exactly. I have noticed it happens a couple of times when I view a vista. I believe it is reporting back to you but I’m not sure. If there is something I should be doing during the crashes that could help let me know.

The Gamma settings seem odd. I really want to play lower light levels but the saturation levels are so off when I lower the Gamma. I think there could be some tweaks to this because the contrast is just too great when playing with the gamma even slightly.

I would say overall the Mac performance on this game compared to say… Diablo 3… is a huge improvement. They didn’t get it right for at least a month or two in. I had to play 640×480 on that for weeks! This game is beautiful and is now the only game I go to. I bought it for my wife too and she is running on my 2009 MBP with 8GB of RAM. She can only play on low settings of course but it runs great for the most part. Frame rate gets low in swamps or major cities but it works.

If I find anything else then I’ll post. Thanks for the Mac version! It is the only reason I got this game and bought it for my Wife too!

This is my first time to Guild Wars and I must say that I really love this game. I see some frustration with not getting to use some skills however the whole moving around while working with what skills (weapon) you chose at the time is kind of the fun in it for me. I’ve been playing games since the first Atari and this is one of the first games in a long time that has me up all night. I started an Engineer right off the bat and I’m no where near level 80, just got it two days ago, but I really love how the mechanics work here. To me every battle feels like a challenge and every battle feels like it could at any moment get ugly unless I’m fully aware of what is happening. I love that. And I think part of that is working within the limits set. If we had all skills to choose from at our disposal at any moment then people would just start finding one thing that works for most situations. I see the frustration but I’m sure loving the feeling of fighting with one arm tied. Of course once I get to 80 I’ll have to see how I feel but something tells me I’ll still like it the same.
